Happy Tuesday!!!! I hope you had a fabulous weekend!! Writing todays post is bitter sweet, as today my kids went back to school....Every year I do the same thing. I look back and torture myself about how big the kids are getting and how each year goes by faster and faster. Where is the STOP button. I want to keep them just the way the are, forever!!!! Here is a pic I took this Morning. My son Ryan is 10 and

started the 5th grade today and my daughter Abbey 12 started 7th grade today...boo..hooo.hooo... I hope they have a great day!
So, GUESS what....todays challenge...Back to school!!!! Living in the Northeast, back to school usually means the start of the fall (although today is 81 degrees), and fall makes me think of apple picking, so for todays challenge, I went with a fall themed card. I wish I knew who made this apple basket digi stamp, but I don't (sorry). I was definitely embellishment challenged with this card, so I left it as is!

We had a great turn out for last weeks "Girls Just Want To Have Fun" challenge, along with a fabulous sponsor: Sherri Baldys Besties! It was extremely hard to choose, but without further A Du, Last weeks TOP 3 are:

Vicky

Happy Monday! I hope you enjoyed your weekend. Mine involved mostly crafting and cleaning! Saturday I spent the day with some of my favorite ladies and we stamped all day, and Sunday, I spent the day cleaning my house. So, all and all it was a pretty good weekend! The card I am sharing with you today is an image I got from I Brake For Stamps. It is a Rick St. Dennis image and her name is Emma Hemmlock. I love her, and I loved coloring her!! Don't forget, if you like any of the I Brake From Stamps you can use my Design team discount and get 10% off your entire purchase. Just use this code: SAVE10KRISTEN. So, have a great day! Happy crafting!
